Unquestionably the best - and most radical - ending to any movie ever

I love this testing of indigo leaf on silk by artist dyer Kristin Gardner. From one to ten layers, the darkest is a beautiful dusty blue. Fresh leaf will never create the deepest indigo blues of vatted indigo but it has its own blue beauty.

@BexBookaholic Sophie in Dick King Smith’s books says exactly that and also that it is quicker to come back from visiting Grest Aunt Al in Scotland. 😉

One factor that helped defeat apartheid in South Africa was mobilising international opinion against it. Support for SA was reduced to rabid right wingers as it became more & more isolated. No wonder supporters of Israeli apartheid see #BDS as a threat

Gary Lineker saying what almost every normal human being thinks.

Killing children is wrong.

There's no reason, no history, no imagined future that excuses or justifies it.

And it's certainly not antisemitic to say that.
